The Once in a Generation Film is Now

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2013)

It's here.
If you love great big great films about great big old monsters -- go out and see PACIFIC RIM as many times as you can. In IMAX. This brand of film is rare. Sophisticated enough for older audiences and audacious enough to bring us all back to our childhood wonderment of how great going to the movies could be. One of the strongest points is how the film doles out massive destruction and spectacular action without seeming too dark or serious.
I hear what people are saying. They want character development. They want more story. They want more of something they've already seen in other movies. I heard one guy say there wasn't enough rubble.
WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?
PACIFIC RIM DELIVERS.
This is the GIANT MONSTER FILM we've all been dreaming about. This movie is the dream of a giant robots. Gone are the rubber suits, wobbly armor, and superfluous plastic nipples. Gone are the cut-aways to reaction shots and cheesy special effects on hilariously small models. Guillermo del Toro's done it FO REAL. Giant Robots. Giant monsters. Fighting on screen. Same screen. At the same time. Kick. Splode. It's all in there. FO REAL.
Don't wait. There's a good chance you'll never see its kind ever again. You think an IMAX 3D film THIS GOOD comes around errday? Don't kid yourself, y'all. I swear the screen is a foot away from your face, but you can see the whole thing in glorious brightly colored detail.
This is how movies should be.
IMAX. Take your friends. Go afore it's gone.
